We prove the existence of a one-parameter family of self-similar solutions with time dependent tails for Smoluchowski's coagulation equation, for a class of kernels $K(x,y)$ which are homogeneous of degree one and satisfy $K(x,1)\to k_0>0$…

Uniqueness of mass-conserving self-similar solutions to Smoluchowski's coagulation equation is shown when the coagulation kernel $K$ is given by $K(x,x\_*)=2(x x\_*)^{-\alpha}$, $(x,x\_*)\in (0,\infty)^2$, for some $\alpha>0$.

We study the similarity solutions (SS) of Smoluchowski coagulation equation with multiplicative kernel $K(x,y)=(xy)^{s}$ for $s<\frac{1}{2}$. When $s<0$% , the SS consists of three regions with distinct asymptotic behaviours. The…

Motivated by the recent results of Andreis-Iyer-Magnanini (2023), we provide a short proof, revisiting the one of Escobedo-Mischler-Perthame (2002), that for a large class of coagulation kernels, any weak solution to the Smoluchowski…
